If temperatures fall below 10 degrees Celsius elementary school students in Hanoi can skip classes, and secondary school students can do so if they are below seven degrees.

The city education department said Monday that schools should also be flexible with class timings if the weather is cold but temperatures remain above the threshold.

It explained in a statement: "Schools can decide to let students attend classes later than normal in the morning. In case students show up late because of the cold weather, schools should allow them to attend classes without being penalized."
